To be honest, Mu Song didn't believe what Gui Feng said.

Mu Song: "Master, do you know that it costs tens of thousands of taels to support an army?"

Guifeng: "I know, I don't."

The little hope in Mu Song's heart was gone again.

He shouldn't have expected anything.

No expectation, no disappointment.

Gui Feng: "Although I don't have any, I can rob them. There are so many corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen. I can just rob two or three of them."

Hearing Gui Feng's words, Mu Song was shocked: "What's the difference between this behavior and banditry? Our army is to protect the people, not to exploit them."

Guifeng thought that this old general might have poor hearing.

"General, those who accomplish great things do not pay attention to small details."

"General, please stay in the store for a day. It won't be too late to give a reply tomorrow afternoon."

"Kong Qing, arrange a room for the general and some food. Don't serve meat. The general looks like he hasn't eaten meat for a long time."

Kong Qing: “Yes.”

If you haven't eaten meat for a long time, suddenly eating meat may cause vomiting and diarrhea.

Guifeng took out his knife and asked Qianshan to bring some people to follow him.

Guifeng jumped on his horse and headed towards a merchant's house in the next county.

That family had a lot of food and money.

You will become rich if you rob.

In order not to attract attention, the businessman hid his money in his ancestral tomb.

He dug the grave under the cover of night.

He learned about this matter when he went to the neighboring county to handle some business last month.

I didn't take it seriously at first.

I think digging up someone's ancestral graves is immoral and not a good idea.

But now it seems just right.

Guifeng rides his horse very fast.

Qianshan: "Master, what are we going to do?"

Guifeng: "Digging a grave."

Qianshan: “!!!” How deep is the hatred and resentment, to actually go and dig a grave. (ΩДΩ)

Guifeng, Qianshan and a small team arrived first because they were riding horses.

The carriage is still behind and will arrive later.

The wealthy businessman's ancestral tomb was built on the mountain.

After digging up the top, Guifeng found a mechanism and pressed it.

A portal appeared.

Guifeng lit a torch and asked Qianshan and the others to follow.

Qianshan: "Master, this is not good. It's a bit inappropriate to enter someone's ancestral tomb... I think it's fine."

Originally, he wanted to say that it was not a good idea to enter someone's ancestral tomb.

But when he saw the piles of money inside, he changed his mind.

There was a cave underneath with more than a dozen large boxes inside and piles of copper coins on the ground.

There were several shelves filled with various treasures.

There are several night-shining pearls placed in the cave, illuminating the inside of the cave.

Qianshan: "Master, this glowing ball is called Night-Shining Pearl. The royal family and nobles love these very much. But according to statistics from our secret guards, anyone who comes into contact with these beads for a long time will not live long."

Guifeng: "Then take it to a county far away and sell it for banknotes."

Qianshan is now a little excited: "Okay, okay."

Qianshan commanded the team that followed to move things outside quickly, and left five people to keep watch.

Qianshan knew Guifeng's plan.

If Xuantian Pavilion becomes powerful in the future and has no one to protect it, it will be at the mercy of others.

Rather than having to worry about other people's expressions in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to acknowledge its existence.

The most important things in war are money and food.

Now that I have money, I can buy food.

Guifeng opened the box next to him. It was a whole box filled with pearls of beautiful color.

I opened another box, and it was full of gold bars.

When they opened the boxes at the back, they were filled with silver and gold.

Guifeng lifted two boxes at once.

Walk towards the exit.

The other secret guards looked on and were shocked.

Each of them can only carry one box at most, and they can't carry more than that.

Guifeng took the two boxes easily.

And Guifeng is a brother.

Their competitive spirit was aroused. Since they couldn't win in strength, they decided to surpass Guifeng in numbers.

Otherwise, it would be bad if Guifeng thought they were useless and didn't hire them.

After one-fifth of the goods had been moved out, the carriage arrived.

Four people were left to load the truck.

Gui Feng: "You can use as much as you can within two hours. After two hours, you can go back directly."

Two hours later, the carriage had transported most of the money in the cave.

Only a pile of copper plates remained.

Guifeng and the secret guards will do the cleanup work.

Clean up the traces.

When we were almost done cleaning, it started raining.

It was raining heavily and it hurt a little when the raindrops hit the back of my hand.

After a while, the ground became wet.

The leaves swayed in the rain, making crackling sounds.

Rainwater can wash away wheel marks.

Guifeng: It seems like even God is helping him.

The silver was not transported to Xuantian Pavilion.

It would be too ostentatious to transport it back.

The silver was placed on a farm in the suburbs.

This farm was bought by Kong Qing before.

There is a fairly large basement under the manor, where we put it.

If there is not enough space, put it inside the house.

When Gui Feng finished his work and returned to Xuantian Pavilion, it was already bright.

He went to the backyard to take a shower and change his clothes.

Chef Four has already prepared breakfast.

A few guests came to the front hall.

Guifeng served himself a bowl of meat porridge, scooped a plate of braised pork, and took an egg and two steamed buns.

Take it upstairs to eat.

He reserved a room on the third floor for himself.

At this time, Mu Song was standing anxiously at the door. Seeing him coming, his eyes lit up: "Master, I heard that you yesterday..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Guifeng.

Gui Feng: "General, please come in and talk. Do you want to eat?"

Mu Song shook his head: "I have eaten. I heard from the Pavilion Master's men that you brought back tens of thousands of taels of silver last night."

Yesterday, when Mu Song ate a hot meal, he still felt a little unreal. He thought it would be great if the soldiers at the border could also have the same meal.

All he wanted now was an urgent answer. If this man could keep his soldiers well-fed and well-clothed, what would it matter if he was given a general's position?

By the end of next year, if the court no longer pays the military salaries, their army will no longer be under the court's control.

Looking at the current situation in the court, I'm afraid this is inevitable.

Gui Feng drank a mouthful of porridge slowly, picked up the steamed bun and ate it with the braised pork: "Yes, if you sell the rare treasures you brought back, you will have more than this."

"By then, weapons, armor, food, herbs and military pay will have been secured. General Mu, here is a banknote of 10,000 taels. Take it first."

As he spoke, he took out a few banknotes from his pocket.

Ten banknotes, each with a face value of one thousand taels.

Mu Song took it with trembling hands.

He hadn't seen so much money in a long time.

At the same time, I felt a wave of sadness.

A wealthy businessman had so much money hidden away. The royal family and nobles in the capital would spend several hundred taels on a meal, but when they asked for military pay and rations, they made all kinds of excuses and cried about being poor.

"I have considered what the Pavilion Master said."
